The Role of Phonological Priming in Backward Priming Effects of Chinese Four-Character Words
Yanjing Zhang
Abstract—The backward priming effect is found in the
masked lexical decision tasks deploying Chinese four-character
words as targets and the backward-presented words as primes.
To explore whether phonology plays a role in this backward
priming effect, we conducted two experiments using the masked
priming lexical decision tasks. Thirty-two and sixty-three native
Chinese speakers participated in the two experiments.
Experiment 1 was designed to investigate the phonological
priming in backward conditions and to ensure the exclusion of
phonology in Experiment 1, the primes were presented forward
in Experiment 2. The results showed that no significant
phonological priming effect was found whether the primes were
backward-presented or forward-presented. Therefore, it can be
concluded that phonological priming did not contribute to the
backward priming effect in lexical decision tasks.
